M aking your fi rst prop-erty purchase can be a daunting experi-ence, especially

for young investors struggling to secure their fi rst loan in an increasingly competitive environ-ment.

Troy Gunasekera, National Manager of Property Club, Australia’s largest independent property group, believes that many young investors can be successful as long as they commit to getting their fi nances in order, do their research and develop the right mindset prior to applying for a loan.

Property Club’s eight tips for young investors:

1. Develop the right mindset. Many young, fi rst-time investors want to get rich straight away and don’t think of property as a long term commitment.

2. Keep a good credit record. While it may be common prac-

Securing your first home can be

toughtice to pay bills past their due date and have some personal debt while you’re still young, this won’t do you any favours when trying to purchase an investment property.

3. Understand tax. If you’ve decided to purchase an invest-ment property, now is the time to get serious about your taxes. Seek specifi c, tailored advice for your personal circumstance and make sure to choose an accountant who specialises in property tax, as they will ensure your investment is as fi nancially profi table as it can be.

4. Make a habit of saving. Although saving may seem like an impossible task while you’re young and starting out, lenders look for evidence of consistent savings over time, so it’s important to start now.

5. Lean on your parents. In such an increasingly competitive market, many young home

buyers are using the parental guarantor system to secure an investment property where the 20 per cent deposit toward their purchase is held against their parents’ home asset.

6. Develop a strategy before purchasing. Developing an investment strategy is an extremely important compo-nent many young investors fail to apply.

7. Learn to negotiate. Many young investors lack the abil-ity to negotiate a property’s price or take a stance with a builder. It takes a lot of confi -dence to be able to negotiate a price, but if you can you have a much better chance of getting a better deal not only with the property itself, but with any renovations or work that needs to be done in the future.

8. Take advantage of growth cycles. The more time you spend in the market, the more profi table your asset becomes.

M ost home loan repay-ments in Australia are typically spread over 30 year terms,

yet with the right loan and good planning it is possible to pay that loan off in less than half that time, usually saving you many thou-sands of dollars in the process.

Financial expert and Yellow Brick Road (Penrith and St Marys) branch Principal, Matt Dwyer, said that most people are aware that a substantial part of their home loan repayments is the interest component of their loans.

“The Australian dream is to own your own home but it can be a long dream for some. 30 years is a long time to make payments and people often try to pay some extra off their loan when they can (if their current lender allows this) in an attempt to reduce this time; but you may not know there are other things you can do to help own your home sooner,” said Mr Dwyer

“You could signifi cantly reduce the time it takes to pay off your home loan by apply a sound strategy of organising your loans, credit cards and general banking in such a way that your spending and your saving all work together to reduce the interest you pay on your home loan.

“Good planning, and then sticking to that plan properly, could result in you owning your home much sooner and save you

Save money and years off your loan

thousands of dollars in interest that you would have otherwise paid over the original full term of the loan.”

Mr Dwyer said there are things you can do now to help you own your home sooner and it all starts with a Financial Health Check.

Check Your Existing Home Loan: Are the rate, terms and conditions of your home loan still suitable to meet your current needs? Restructuring your loan now could save you thousands of

dollars a year and even take years off your loan period.

Check Your Other Loans and Credit Cards: Are you making good use of interest free periods on your credit cards? Are you getting the best rates and terms in this competitive market? Action taken here could work very favourably in helping you achiev-ing your goals.

Check Your Savings and Invest-ments: Are you getting the sort of returns you want? There may

be unexplored alternatives that could improve your returns and create additional dollars which could be redirected into paying off your home loan.

Check Your Financial Goals: How are they going? A review now could refocus you on the goal of saving thousands of dollars in interest

Mark Bouris, Executive Chair-man of Yellow Brick Road said: “All Australians deserve quality fi nancial advice”.

@wwpenrithKingswood 2747

Historical areaT he suburb of Kingswood

is situated at the eastern approach to Penrith and its historical develop-

ment is intrinsically associated with the suburban, commercial and industrial entity of Penrith and South Penrith.

The suburb forms part of the catchment of Werrington Creek and its numerous tributaries which drain into South Creek to the north east.

This water supply encouraged the establishment of tanneries in areas north of the Great Western Highway.

Within this large area is diver-sity of land use including health (Nepean Hospital), education (Kingswood High, Kingswood Primary, St Dominic’s College, two campuses of the University of Western Sydney, Nepean College), cemetery (Penrith), and miscel-

laneous government uses (State Records).

These facilities are distributed across the suburb, but there is a concentration of government and educational uses in the eastern area of the suburb.

Without doubt, Nepean Hospi-tal is the biggest facility in the area – and the largest employer. It services the health and emer-gency needs not only of the local suburb, but of the entire Penrith LGA and beyond.

Kingswood Railway Station is a busy transport interchange for both trains and buses, and located across from the station is a shop-ping strip with a range of diff erent shops.

The Kingswood Hotel, which has recently undergone refurbish-ments, is one of the key pubs in the area along with the Penrith Gaels Club.

There’s not a huge range of restaurants, but Zaika Indian Restaurant is a favourite among locals as is Pizza Stop in the main shopping strip.

Kingswood is right next to the Penrith CBD, and its suburban centre is just a few minutes from the major shopping precincts of Penrith.

While Kingswood is sometimes frowned at, the suburb has plenty of surprises and off ers great investment potential. In the future, there are huge plans for Kingswood by various levels of government that will only see the area grow and continue to improve in stature, respect and property values.

The suburb of Kingswood comprises a number of land grants made in the 1810s by Governor Macquarie. The fi rst was Mary O’Connell’s grant of 1055 acres of 1810, which was followed in 1814 by smaller grants made to John Gandell (200 acres), Samuel Foster (400 acres) and John Best (400 acres).

The area also includes a portion of Phillip Parker King’s 1500 acre grant of 1831 of former common which had been held under lease since 1822.

Given the history of Kingswood, you will fi nd a number of heritage listed locations in the area.

Kingswood is full of surprises and is really one of Penrith’s most convenient and aff ordable suburbs.

There’s great plans for the future, and an amazing past associated with the surprising suburb of Kingswood

Take a second look

S avvy investors from all over Sydney are quickly realising that Kingswood is western Sydney’s

investment hotspot.Knowledge of the expanding

Nepean Hospital and surrounding medical precinct as well as the popularity of the University of Western Sydney are the driving force behind the demand.

PRDnationwide Penrith have experienced increased demand for new development housing in the surrounding areas.

A project at 45 Jones Street King-swood sold out off the plan even before the slabs were laid.

They are currently marketing a mixed development of units and terraces known as Savvy with only six of the 20 left and comple-tion not due until August.

Kingswood is an area that has very interesting demographics. Speaking to local developers they see the area becoming a hub of services and retail opportuni-ties that benefi t from the strong

employment and education facilities that attract a vibrant and active clientele.

A recent approval for 1600sqm of retail and 97 units in a seven storey building is further proof that developers and investors see

Kingswood as a key investment location.

If you really do your homework you quickly realise that King-swood is set to enjoy a major makeover that will make it unrec-ognisable to long term residents.

@wwpenrithCamping’scomeback

The holiday many of us

remember as a child has never been more popular, with the nation’s caravan and camping parks now catering for ‘Glamping’ (luxury camping) and ‘Gramping’ (holidays with grandparents) along with weekend retreats, and holidays tailored for young families, couples, pet lovers, and boaties.

The nation’s leading destina-tion for holiday parks, Turu.com.au, has just completed a nationwide survey of more than 3,000 Aussie holidaymakers to identify our favourite caravan/camping destination by state, territory and specialist category.

Victoria’s Great Ocean Road Tourist Park has retained its title as Australia’s number one.

Bits&Pieces A detailed analysis of solar

installations in Australia has shown lower income families and regional communities are most likely to install solar. The report released this week by the REC Agents Association (RAA), a national industry body representing fi rms that create and trade in renewable energy certifi cates, analyses the uptake of solar panels and hot water systems by postcode and income. “Five million Australians have embraced solar because it protects their families from soaring power bills,” said Ric Brazzale, RAA President.

More than 12,000 home and business owners across parts of nine suburbs in Sydney’s west are set to receive fast broadband. The latest construction maps show the National Broadband Network (NBN) will be rolled out across more parts of Sydney, including in Kingswood and Cambridge Park. NBN Co spokesperson Darren Rudd said information is already avail-

able online about the plans and packages being off ered by phone companies and Internet provid-ers. “Today’s announcement continues the momentum of the NBN rollout in NSW and means more construction workers will be rolling out the NBN faster to the state,” he said. “People who have already made the switch tell us they enjoy having all the family online at once, making high-quality video calls with fewer drop outs, downloading movies in minutes and stream-ing TV. All you need to do is call your preferred phone or Internet

company to prepare to be one of the fi rst to connect to the service when it comes online.”

Funding of $10,000 has been received from Keep Australia Beautiful for the installation of fi ve beverage recycling containers at Tench Reserve, Jamisontown and Coachmans Park, St Marys. $25,000 has been received from the Environmen-tal Protection Authority (EPA) for the installation of additional litter bins, signage and cigarette butt bins at Mark Leece Oval, St Clair and Ched Towns Reserve, Glenmore Park.

A draft Kingswood Public Domain Manual has been prepared to establish the stand-ards for design, materials and fi nish for future street upgrades and maintenance in the area known at the Kingswood Specialised Centre. The Centre is around Nepean Hospital but also includes the residential areas along Orth Street, Rodgers Street and Wainwright Lane.

Busting typical home loan myths

Y ellow Brick Road St Marys has been busy for a few weeks now with a new campaign

to help bust the myths that confuse consumers into making misguided decisions about their biggest fi nancial commitment – their home loan.

The campaign, which was featured on Channel 9’s ‘A Current Aff air’, was conceived from a Yellow Brick Road survey show-ing that nearly half of educated, hardworking Australians confessed to feeling confused and embarrassed about their fi nancial situation.

Research compiled from Australian consumers aged 30-49 in the major cities found that nearly 49 per cent of individuals claimed they didn’t speak to a professional about their fi nancial aff airs because they found it to be

too complex and didn’t have the confi dence to have a conversation about their fi nances. The research also revealed that 73 per cent of respondents identifi ed “trust” as the number one factor in making the decision to work with a fi nan-cial services professional.

“The fi nance industry is very good at using confusion to their advantage,” said Yellow Brick Road Executive Chairman, Mark Bouris.

“In the consumer’s eyes, they might visit their bank, thinking that their loyalty is going to get them the best possible home loan rate, or they might be attracted to a lender advertising a discount, oblivious to the fact that the off er might not suit their needs. That’s why we have created this myth busting campaign, to shine some light on the truth and put the power back in consumer’s hands.”

“What we’re advocating is choice and transparency,” added Yellow Brick Road (St Marys) Branch Principal Matt Dwyer.

“We would rather have an educated customer who comes into our branch with a good idea of what’s already in the market. They know what features are important to them and they want to fi nd a loan that’s going to work for them in the long run. We want to help them to get a better understanding of how the system works, which is why this campaign is so important for the people in our community.”

Yellow Brick Road has debunked 30 popular myths, and has created an e-book to help consumers educate themselves against the popular misconceptions that plague the market.

For example, many people think that it’s not worth refi nancing

to an interest rate only half a per cent lower than their current rate. What most people don’t realise is that even a half per cent could equate to tens of thousands of dollars in savings. As an exam-ple, the diff erence between a $350,000, 30-year variable rate loan at 4.74 per cent compared to 5.24 per cent is a saving of over $107 every month and nearly $38,500 over the life of the loan.

Another myth is that there is no diff erence if you make your repay-ments monthly or fortnightly. The truth is that because there are more than four weeks in a month, making fortnightly payments can actually get you well ahead. On an average $350,000, 30-year loan on a 4.74 per cent interest rate, making fortnightly payments instead of monthly payments would chop out over $53,000 in interest payments.

No diff erence between payingmonthly and fortnightly? Think again! Yellow Brick Road is trying to debunk the myths that surround your home loan.

@wwpenrithAround your place

A new look

M any homeowners make plans to redecorate a room in their house but never

take action, fearful of the costs.Despite the misconceptions

though, it is possible to revamp a room on a budget and transform it into a fresh, beautiful space that will become the pride of your house.

The most common areas of a property that people want to reno-vate are the bedrooms, kitchens, lounges and outdoor entertaining areas and these can be easily spruced up by using innovative methods to decorate on a budget.

According to Shaynna Blaze, Taubmans Brand Ambassador and Colour Creative Director, the process of decorating any room should begin with considering

the walls and how they could be painted to update the area.

“Walls are the biggest surface area of a room, so it makes sense that painting the walls is going to provide instant impact,” she said.

“Painting is also one of the easi-est tasks that you can take on as a DIY decorator, and with the right amount of time and elbow grease,

Scared of the costs of updating your favourite room? You don’t need to be, according to the DIY experts

you can make a positive change very quickly.”

For bedrooms, keeping classic, simple furnishing and fl ooring reduces cost and eff ort, and will perfectly complement any shade of wall paint homeowners want to try out, making it a versatile room that can be quickly changed.

Ms Blaze suggests a soothing blue or green colour for a tranquil

bedroom atmosphere, or trying a purple hue on two walls for those who want to stay on-trend and use a rich, bold colour.

After the walls are painted, fi nishing up the look is as simple as getting some crisp, white sheets and scatter cushions to set off the feature walls.

A good tip to make the lounge

room look bigger is to paint the wall behind the TV in a darker colour, which will make it blend in and give the illusion of a larger space for entertaining.

For the outdoor entertaining area, which usually gets shown off to family and friends during BBQs and parties, Ms Blaze suggests making a few basic updates to décor and accessories.

Cleaning up aft er your dog

Has your dog left you a

nasty surprise? It’s never a pretty sight on your carpet.

First, you need to make sure you clean up the bulk of the poop. Not a pleasant job, but it’ll be over quickly.

Stain remover: Specific products are on the market, but a laundry stain remover will do the job. Spray the general area with the stain remover, making sure you cover the whole stain and surrounding area.

Cold water: Get a bucket of cold, soapy water and a plain coloured cloth and get to work on removing the stain. Don’t scrub too hard, but scrub with a fair bit of elbow grease. If you think you’re done, do it again for a minute or so just to be sure.

Vacuum: Get some cheap carpet deodoriser, leave it on the general area for a few minutes and then give the area a good vacuum. You’ll never know it was there!
